Both the photos below were loaned to me by Pat Ward.
Unfortunately they were undated but I'd have a guess that they were
taken circa 1930 - if you can date them definitively then let me
know!

Top: 'Hards Lane' i.e. Hard Lane crossroads looking south
towards Harthill. Bottom, a picture taken from about where the
roadsign is, looking u[ Station Road past where one day in the
1950s the Saxon Pub would stand.
